GM Cuts 1,900 Jobs, Moves Ramos Arizpe Plant to Single Shift

State authorities are preparing job‑fair slots and training for displaced workers.

Overview

  • General Motors confirmed about 1,900 layoffs at its Ramos Arizpe complex as the facility transitions to a single production shift.
  • The company said the cuts affect unionized and salaried staff and that severance will be paid in line with Mexico’s Federal Labor Law.
  • GM attributed the move to softer demand for electric vehicles and characterized it as an operational alignment rather than a retreat from Mexico.
  • The automaker reiterated a $1 billion investment in Mexican manufacturing over 2026–2027, highlighting ongoing projects focused on domestic demand.
  • The Coahuila government plans to add 1,000 vacancies to a January 30 job fair in Saltillo and to offer training and skills‑reconversion programs, following repeated stoppages and prior workforce reductions throughout 2025.
